to become more familiar with Fish ID. When the MagnaView is first turned
on, the Fish ID feature is automatically turned on, also. To turn this feature
off, press the menu key until the Fish ID feature’s menu appears as shown
at right. Now press the down arrow key. This turns the feature off. To turn
it back on, repeat the above steps, but press the up arrow key instead.
The Fish ID feature can’t be used when the MagnaView is in the manual
mode. If you turn the automatic feature off, the Fish ID feature will
automatically be turned off, also.
TargetTrack™
The MagnaView has the unique capability to "see" targets not only straight
down, but also to the right and left, thanks to the BroadView™ transducer
included with your sonar unit. This transducer has three elements: left,
right, and down. The MagnaView uses all three elements to display targets
between the surface and the bottom. Targets are shown as Fish ID
symbols. This feature also shows the depth of the target directly above the
fish symbol. In the screen shown below right, there is one symbol from the
right element at 22 feet, one from the left element at 29 feet, and one from
the center element at 16 feet. The TargetTrack feature identifies fish
symbols coming from the right element with a "R" in front of the symbol's
depth. A "L" identifies symbols from the left element. No letter identifies fish
symbols from the center element. The bottom signal and the digital depth
display are read from the center element only.
To turn the TargetTrack feature off, simply press the MENU key until its
menu appears, then press the down arrow key.
